obama: well, governor romney's right. you are familiar with jobs being shipped overseas because you invested in companies that were shipping jobs overseas, and, you know, that's your right. that's how our free market works. but i've made a different bet on american workers, you know? if we had taken your advice, governor romney, about our auto industry, we'd be buying cars from china instead of selling cars to china. if we take your advice with respect to how we change our tax code so that companies who earn profits overseas don't pay taxes compared to companies here that are paying taxes, that's estimated to create 800,000 jobs in places like china. and if we're not making investments in education and basic research which is not something that the private sector is doing at a sufficient pace right now and has never done, then we will lose the lead in tings like -- things like clean energy technology. now, with respect to what we've done with china already, u.s. exports have doubled. since i came into office, to china. an

president obama, governor hickenlouper and the religious leaders in and around aurora are to be commended for the effort they put in for consoling the victims and the broader community. i think the best thing the rest of us can do right now is to show our respect for those who have been affected by this terrible and senseless crime and to continue to pray for the injured, that they recover fully from their injuries. there are few things more common in america than going out to a movie with friends, which is why the first response most of us had to the shootings in on aurora was to think, it could have been any of us. it's the randomness of a crime like this that makes it impossible to understand and so hard to accept. but as the scripture says, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. so we accept that some things we just can't explain. evil is one of them. and we take comfort in the fact that while tragedy and loss persist, so does the goodness and generosity of so many. and now i'd like to join governor hickenlouper in honoring the victims by reciting their names. er havveronica moser
